net) is £420.00 which is amazing for the
area and the flat itself even as the room itself is not very big at
all – The landlord is fantastic too and gives you complete free reign
to decorate your room if you so desire. Although the flat itself is
not palatial, it has a great atmosphere and its location cannot be
beaten – i personally work in Covent Garden and can walk there in
45mins. There are 243,55 that take you to central London and the likes
of Camden and Angel are all within 20 mins door to door.The flat is 10
mins walk to Liverpool St and 7 mins to Old Street tube

Does anyone have eco-balls they no longer use? (These are used in the
washing machine instead of your conventional washing powder/liquid.)
One of mine is broken and cannot be refilled. Many thanks.

Fogface
Its funny, well actually its mildly amusing but East London has been having its own little Renaissance, what with the 2012 games, new tube line, and mad influx of retards thinking danger, costly living and general social deprivation makes for a great community setting.
I cant moan, money is pouring in, farmers’ markets are springing up all over the shop, trendy riverside apartments… all thats missing are the celeb endorsements. Oh well, we will just make do with middle class smugness for a little while longer…

Pass the Gravy
Nu Gravy: massive social movement populated by under 14 NME reading, trendy indie wonders, usually white middle class from West London who enjoy wearing ‘crazy’ and ’subversive’ neo fluorescent clothing with incessant overuse of glowsticks.
Generally involves a mild form of mind control and refusal to accept cold hard facts; namely Gravy is original and on the cutting edge of fashion… depending of course whether you enjoy dressing up like tin can with a police siren on your head.
Jokingly referenced too and completely removed from the true essence of rave. But given the choice, they can both suck balls, big massive ones in Gravy’s‘ case…

How to say “im a twat” in 600 words or less…
While wasting time laughing at the classified sections in Gumtree, I came across this beaut which pretty much rewrites the rules of engagement if your self-esteem requires a little sprinkle of East-London trendiness…
“Sadly our lovely flatmate Celeste has decided to move out of our
wonderfully located flat based in Shoreditch on the corner of Colombia
rd and Virginia rd (at the end of the bagel shop end of Brick lane).
We are looking for another GIRL to move in and keep the balance of
testosterone + oestrogen stable…..are you her?
The flat is on the first floor of a three story residential block and
has its own balcony, a great size kitchen, bathroom, toilet and a big
living room with a sofa bed for guests, brand new ikea sofas, wireless
internet router, and our newest addition – Gertrude the pot plant.
We are a very close bunch and all socialise and hang out together
regularly at the likes of Catch, George and Dragon or if we’re feeling
frisky, Boombox, Trailer Trash and maybe the odd warehouse party. We
are all lovers of a good party but during the week we are all working
professionals who enjoy our sleep so minimal parties happen (instead
we may have friends round for dinner) then and noise is kept to a
minimum. We all have a great group of friends that all live in the
area and it would be nice if the girl that moves in could come with
another group of friends for us to meet.
The flatmates you’d be moving in with are:
Dag 27/m Norweigen who works in travel/ecommerce. Horribly cool but
doesn’t react well to loosing his hat. Penchant for Rose wine and
debauched behavior who lives on Pizza and crumpets.
Alex 24/m who can be defined and remembered by his hair alone. Rarely
seen out of skinny jeans Alex is a lover of fine wine

electro and using long words.
Helen 27/f who is one of Londons best make-up artists who recently
worked at Londons Fashion rocks making up the D+G models. Helen is
originally from Billericay and wears retro clothes better than most
YOU 24-30/f who works in Media/Fashion/Music who loves music, eating
out and playing at the weekends – must have a horrible sense of humour
and be somewhat opinionated in the same way as we are. Fashion sense
is important beyond your wildest expectations
PLEASE DO NOT reply saying about how you enjoy the odd glass of wine
cinema and music as literally EVERYONE says the same. We want someone
to live with us that is individual who can sharpen us all – so make
your reply interesting and use it as a fair representation of
yourself! Please include your myspace and/or facebook page so that we
can see what kind of a person you are and if you would be good looking
enough to live with us HA!
The room will be free from 3rd November – (the 26th as the latest
available date) and the rent including all bills (council tax,
water,electric,phone,inter
I really wouldn’t live anywhere else in London!APPLY NOW as this room will go very very quickly -
Please do not get offended if we do not reply but we are looking for someone very
particular.”
particular.”
In a nutshell, I would rather reside in Birmingham underneath a motorway bridge, naked and hung upside down while a rat mutilates my face! One can only imagine the tightness of the skinny jeans when divising such words.
I shouldnt be too hard on em, im wearing a skinny tee but then I dont live in Shoreditch!
